Bruce shared ownership of the property with Sheree, who he says he loved and raised from a child. But he says their relationship started to deteriorate when she met her boyfriend, Shayne Bennett.

“Shayne Bennett is the fella Sheree got involved with about four years ago, I don’t really know him, he’s just come there and made a nuisance of himself, he won’t work,” Bruce said.

Now, Bruce feels he’s been tricked by his loved ones.

We know the Clarence Town property needed to be sold to pay a legal debt, belonging to Bruce and Sheree.

It appears Shayne took out a bank loan to buy the property, so Bruce and Sheree could get the money to pay off their bill.

A transfer document shows Shayne bought the 11 acres for $440,000, well under the $650,000 market value.

A deed was later drawn up, appointing Shayne as trustee. But we don’t know if the document was ever signed, so on paper it appears Shayne is the sole owner of the property.

Bruce now fears he’s lost his home, and to make matters worse, he says he didn’t even know it had been sold.

“I don’t know how he did it, cause I didn’t sign that (transfer document), it’s not my signature,” Bruce said.

The person named as the witness on the transfer paperwork claims she never signed the document either.

In fact, there are multiple documents Bruce says he knows nothing about, with his signature different on each one.

Bruce wants to sell the property and use his share to buy a place in Western Sydney, near relatives he trusts.

“That’s all I want – to sell my five acres and the house, simple as that,” he said.

But perhaps not so simple, especially given a raft of bills Bruce has since discovered that are addressed to him.

One bill is for a mobile phone account, which Bruce says he knows nothing about, as he’s never had a mobile phone.

“They’ve put it in my name, but I haven’t got one,” he said.

Bruce’s son, BJ, said Sheree was selling the contents of Bruce’s home online, including his hydrobath and fridge. She even tried to sell the Clarence Town property on a Facebook ‘Buy, Swap and Sell’ page.

“It’s upsetting to think that somebody that was fairly successful, had a comfortable life – because of two people that were supposed to be caring for him – he now has absolutely nothing left, nowhere to live, no funds behind him anymore,” BJ said.

“You can’t believe that an Australian granddaughter could do this to her grandfather, who basically helped to raise her from the day she was born.”

Bruce now feels he’s a burden to the relatives who have taken him in. But for how much longer, nobody knows.

Doctors gave Bruce just one year to live when they diagnosed him with stomach cancer, 18 months ago.
